Safeguarding

At Darrington CE Primary School we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We will act quickly and follow our procedures to ensure children receive effective support, protection and justice. 

Ofsted, November 2019, said that:

"The arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
"Leaders have established a vigilant and caring ethos in the school. Staff receive regular and appropriate training. They can recognise the signs that a pupil is at risk of harm. Staff are confident to report any concerns. Leaders follow up concerns rigorously and swiftly. Leaders accurately record concerns and the actions taken.
They seek support from external agencies when required so that pupils get the help that they need."
"Pupils learn to keep themselves safe, including when working online. Leaders know the risks that exist in the local area. Pupils learn about these risks through assemblies and special lessons. Leaders make strong links with local community agencies, such as the police."

If you have concerns about any child at our school, please speak to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
